Effective meeting spot

by leexjd at Citysearch

I held a meeting at Stag's Head in their meeting room and though it was not our traditional venue, it went well. There is a wide variety of foods, so everyone had something they liked, from pizza to salads to traditional English breakfast or a burger.

I did not give it the last star because the wait staff seemed to like interrupting our meeting and because the room was quite dark. We also had to bring a sheet to use as a projector screen, but that's not a problem- it is a pub after all.

• Pros: good location, ample parking during day, decent food
• Cons: dark meeting room

horrible service

by smith03 at Citysearch

The staff for the most part are great, some of the best bartenders in the city. But I will no longer drink here because of the rudest bartender i have ever encountered. A few months ago I was there late on a Friday night. I ordered a round from this bartender, who told me that he "doesn't make those" and walked off. The other bartenders quickly came over and apologized, and made the drinks for me. One of the bartenders informed me that this was their manager! I hadn't been in since until last weekend, when I stopped by for a nightcap on Friday. Service was exceptional, until the same bartender/manager came out on the patio with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and took our drinks away. I informed him that it wasn't even 2 o'clock yet, and I had just bought that drink at last call just a few minutes before. He mumbled something about "bar-time", took our drinks away and told us that "the bar's closed, go home". I am still appalled at the way he spoke to us, not to mention the cigarette smoke he blew in my face. That will be the last time I spend money in that bar, and judging by how many people were in there on a Friday night (six), it seems their reputation is getting around.

• Pros: usually great service, good food
• Cons: can be filthy on certain nights

Great Staff ......

I'm sorry but I have found my experience at the Stags to be great ... as for the waitstaff / bartenders they are outstanding ... if your looking for the "Hooter girl experience" you will not find it at the Stags ... these ladies have class and culture ... I understand this can be misinterperted as rude .... but believe me they are not rude. Great ambiance.
